I've read through First Aid once and still have 8 weeks of M2 left before 4.5 weeks of board studying.

I've done about 35% of UWorld and am averaging ~55%. I would really like a 240.

Today I took my first practice test: 214 (NMBE 5)

Am I on track?

You sound right on track. Have 10 weeks of studying to do, and already at 214, not bad. I'm sure a 240+ is possible if you can get it in the 220's before school gets out and then bust your a** for those 4.5 weeks.

Don't worry ar! I'm the kind of person who learns things slowly, so I needed to get an early start. Most of my friends are maybe half through First Aid and I'm sure very few have taken a practice exam. We just got off spring break and 90% of the class went to the beach.

I started off very similar to you. I had a 209 (if I remember right) on my first NBME, had about the same amount of time to study as you and was doing similar in UWORLD and I ended up with 254.

Keep plugging away. You'll do fine. 240 is in reach if you bust your butt.
